Russian strikes black out Dnipro as Zelenskyy warns of more missiles
CNBC reported Friday that Russian strikes cut power to more than 350,000 consumers in Dnipro as Ukraine said a drone hit a Russian oil refinery.
Russian strikes overnight left more than 350,000 consumers without power in Dnipro and nearby settlements, CNBC reported Friday, citing Ukrainian regional officials1.
Ukrainian private energy company DTEK said emergency power cuts took effect in Dnipro and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast early Friday after damage from the attacks, according to the report1.
Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the regional military administration, said in a Telegram post that work was underway to restore supply1.
CNBC said an oil refinery in Novokuibyshevsk, in Russia's Samara Oblast, that produced jet fuel for Russian forces caught fire after a suspected Ukrainian drone strike1.
Late Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces had destroyed two Russian Su-34 fighter jets and struck an Iskander missile launcher, the report said1.
He warned that Russia was preparing further high-speed missile attacks and asked allies for more air-defense interceptors, particularly for Patriot systems1.
"We now have intel about the Russians preparing new ballistic missile attacks," Zelenskyy said in an evening address from Kyiv, according to CNBC1.
CNBC said Ukraine faces an acute shortage of interceptors to shoot down incoming Russian ballistic missiles1.
